agency of whch iruiions of dollars
have h,- a:dds d to the agricultural
wealth of thli country.
Th- lat.t plan of Ilolden is to
place a:'alfa upon every far.a. There
are three prumiueut fkatu;es in his
I plan:
(1) The introduction of a compara
tively new crop into the Corn
Belt, Southern and Eastern
states.
(2) Coin, direct to the homes cf the
fr'nr rs, where nme-tings are
he!d in the g:elds. and success
and failure discussed according
to local conditions.
(3) The use of that most modern ve
hicle--the au:emoobile.
Purpose of Campaign.
The!:o rim:ry purpoeo of the cnam
I igfn is !o sl:ow the ::a, :ilan farmer
that alfalfa is the miost profitable crop
hi can grow; that it can b:" grown
i'rofitac'y upon evely farm; that it en
riches thr soil; increases farm values;
stimulates live stock growing :cod dai
rying; produces double that of other
hay crops, and is better feed.
Thirt-en campaigns have thus far
bon successfully conducted in Mich
igan, Ohio aind Illinois.
Some of the Results.
RPes'ilts of the IKeat county (Mich.)

(1) Six thuuanard farmers v'sited at

(6) Many applice:ions for rimnhilrcam.
paigns from all parte of the
Unit':d States.
The Kent county campaign has been
followed by campaigns in Allegan
Barry, Grand Traverse and St. Claim
counties, Michigan; Van Wert. Marion
Fulton, Williams and Champaign coun'
ties, Ohio; and Sangamon, DuPas2
and Kane counties, Illinois.
Great Meeting in Ohio.
At one meeting in Ohio upon the
farm of Joseph E. Wing, near Mechan
lcsburg, nearly 4,000 people gathered
from all parts of Ohio and adjoining
states to learn more about alfalfa. At
this great meeting the Ohio State Al
falfa Growers' association was organ
ized. Over 300 automoiles made up
the alfalfa train. It is recorded as
the greatest agricultural assemblage
in the history of Ohio. Other Ohic
counties where the work has been
taken up report success on every
hand.
Sangamon and Kane counties, I111.
nois, have both conducted great cam
paigns. At one meeting in WillIams
ville, Ill., over 1,200 farmers came to
hear the alfalfa lecturers.
In all of these campaigns which
were conducted within a period of
about two months nearly 50,000 farm
era have been reached with the gos
pel of alfalfa
As a result also of the campaign
work it is conservatively estimated
that 200,000 acres of alfalfa will be
/seeded during this and the coming
season.
Such is the result of the initial work
of campaigning for alfalfa, but vastly
more than this tangible result has
been accomplished, Every farmer
throughout the region where the work
was conducted Is talking about al
falfa The co-operation of the schools
in the territory sla a very important
and effective feature. School oficials,
from the highest to the lowest, have
never failed to appreciate the oppor
tunity.
Professor Holden has expressed
himself as considering it the most
wonderful experience and the most
beneficial trip from the farm stand.
point that he has ever taken.
But tl is not all-wherever the
farmers of any community are inter
ested in the growing of alfalfa, when
possible a follow-up man, thorough in
his knowledge of alfalfa culture, will
be sent out to assist them in getting

farmers and aid them in solving
the problems at home. He will

t An Unnecessary Menace.
* It is a wonder to us how the
people of the city can be so patient
and so happy, when the crossing
in some of the streets of the city
t are so uneven. It would seem to
us that they would put the things
nearer the road bed either by grad
ing up to the crossing or lowering
the crossing. This is expensive to
owners of vehicles.
